hi there,
i used to have that problem with zeus, wat i do is cut his nails while he's sleeping... so he'l tend to jz laze around & let u do watever. if ben wakes up halfway feelin agitated, make sure u have a small treat waiting so soon he'l knows after cut nails sure got treats...good luck
btw zeus started buffing his own nails when he's abt 6 mths old, i dont do it for him anymore till today...

hi thanks for ur reply
I try to do it when benjamin was sleeping, no matter how sweet his dream was, he will stil wait up & try to bite me & the nail cutter. He is reallllyyyy snensitive to this, even i gav him treat...he just wun concentrate on the treats onli....
Ben is a indoor dog. so no place for him to buff his own nails but he love to dig on the marble

Hi zen,
Firstly you'd need determination, perseverance and lots of patience This is one area that takes me ages with my dog. At times if I'm lucky enough, I get to cut all of them in one go. Otherwise, I'll have to be contented with few nails at a time
It's funny why a lot of dogs don't like their nails to be cut. Perhaps they do feel the sensitivity. Maybe you'd like to try cutting Ben's nails after bathing. His cuticles would be softer and he'd feel less discomfort (if that's the reason for his resistance).

hi,
same here...i tried nail cuttings when my girl is sleeping...well..when she sees the nail cutter, she won let me touch her paw anymore...she will just scream!!!!! just like when i brought her for vaccination...even before the vet touch her, she will scream d...aiyoyo...
i brought her for grooming before and the groomer told me that she will try to bite her when she tried to cut her nails..so hv to use muzzle instead...but other than nail cutting, everything else is fine with her...
i oso pening, pening

same with my dog... i had to resort to sending her to the vet to get her nails cut, everytime...
if you have 2 person at home, then i suppose u cud get the job done yrself... 1 person to hold the dog, put yr body weight on the dog so that they can't struggle much, and also at the same time scratch the dog's tummy or behind the ears to comfort them... and 1 more person actually doing the nail cutting job... this is the same method used by the vet to cut my dog's nails coz she really struggle a lot A LOT! if u r not sure of this method, u may ask yr vet to do it for one time and then hopefully u can learn and do it yrself next time...
